Where the Waterfalls Are
Crimora sits in or near the Shenandoah and the Northern Blue Ridge area of Virginia. Shenandoah National Park covers the crest of the northern Blue Ridge, and dozens of hollows drop steeply from Skyline Drive to the Shenandoah Valley on one side and the Piedmont on the other. Dark Hollow Falls in Madison County cascades over greenstone along a moderate trail of about 1.4 miles, and Lower Whiteoak Falls and Overall Run Falls are among the park's favorites. South River Falls in Greene County and Jones Run Falls are farther south along the Drive. Most of these falls lie below their trailheads, so hikes go downhill first and climb back out on the return.
